I know words aren't an area of expertise for you. You claimed Ravel
wrote Bolero for the piano. He did not. He wrote it on a piano. There's
a big difference there.

I never said I liked the "original" version of Bolero. I don't like any
versions of Ravel's Bolero. The work I like and referenced is
Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, which was written on and for
the piano. Ravel later orchestrated the piano work and, in my opinion,
turned it into something it was never meant to be.

Here is the most famous performance of Pictures, by the incredible
Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter:

Your wiki post doesn't mean the piece was written *for* piano. It was
written on a piano, but Ravel's intention was to produce an
orchestrated dance piece.

If a composer *publishes* a piece written for piano, it was written for
piano.Â* Your cognizant thinking is going to hell in a handbasket.


Uh-huh. Your language skills remind me of a funny engineering student I
knew in college. "Before I enrolled in engineering school," he would
say, "I couldn't spell engineer. Now I are one."

I don't know if that was original with him, though.


Difference between Engineers and journalism students is Engineers have to

Thank goodness you don't write instructions.

Nice. I understand that there are some people who can listen to that
without thinking of Bo Derek. :-)


"There is no music in it," Ravel wrote. But it does build to an
overloud, schmaltzy climax, which is why, I assume, why Herring likes it.

Actually, I like the whole piece.


Would have been better if Jack Nicholson was conducting. :-)
